One More Time
Mr. Davis Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Well I know my way
'Round a six string flat-top piano, on over
I can play whatever song you wanna hear
And hand me a bottle, and I'll go full throttle til' that sun comes up
And the stars hanging in the sky just disappear
But I need help when it comes to you
I don't what I got into
You love like a wildfire
Light me up like a live wire
But I can't get enough
You kiss like a hurricane
Off the tracks like a runaway train
But I think I'll try my love
But I roll the dice and play my hand
Oh, I might lose it
Girl, I like the way you're more than I know what to do

What is the deal, cuss and lie
When it comes to a girl like you
You gotta wait too much
Let loose and sometimes I can't believe my eyes
The way you move and the way you dance
I'm like sand running through your hands
I don't know how long I got, but I'm a-gonna take my chance

You love like a wildfire
Light me up like a live wire
But I can't get enough
You kiss like a hurricane
Off the tracks like a runaway train
But I think I'll try my love
But I roll the dice and play my hand
Oh, I might lose it
Girl, I like the way you're more than I know what to do

Yeah, I need help when it comes to you
I don't know what I got into
Said, I need help when it comes to you
I don't know what I got into

You love like a wildfire
Light me up like a live wire
But I can't get enough
You kiss like a hurricane
Off the tracks like a runaway train
But I think I'll try my love
But I roll the dice and play my hand




Oh, I might lose it
Girl, I like the way you're more than I know what to do

Overall Meaning

The song "One More Time" by Mr. Davis is about a man who is confident in his musical abilities but is lost when it comes to love. He compares his skills on a six-string, flat-top piano to his prowess in pleasing his lover's desires. He can play any song she wants and can drink all night long, but when it comes to understanding her and their relationship, he needs guidance. The chorus describes the intensity of their love, comparing it to a wildfire and a live wire, as well as the risks he takes to keep the relationship going. He admits that he doesn't know what he got into with her but is willing to roll the dice and play his hand in the game of love.

The character in the song is vulnerable and open about his confusion, making the song relatable to many who have felt lost in a relationship. The use of metaphors in describing the intensity of their love adds to the emotional effect of the song. The romantic and risky nature of the relationship that the singer describes adds an incredibly enticing layer to the narrative.
